Republicans will never blame capitalists or capitalism as such. Even welfare state liberals like Sanders won’t blame capitalism as such, they’ll blame über-capitalists and crony capitalism.

Funny thing is, Republicans are actually blaming capitalism, they just call it 'the globalists' because they are like children, and need evil to be personified for them to comprehend it.

The far right is not blaming capitalism, it is distracting people from capitalism, giving them a false consciousness to keep them from developing class consciousness. They know exactly what they’re doing by blaming the (((globalists))): it’s what fascists have been doing for the last century. They’re selling a false revolution that would only give the capitalist class even more power by stripping away the trappings of bourgeois democracy.
